I read article on a similar comic blog site about famous comic writers like Kevin Smith, Richard Donner, and a few others that I don't remember.lol. Anyway, this article is about people I would love to see write a comic. I'm gonna say who first, what company, and which character they would best suited for. I'm keeping the companies to only marvel and DC, because I'm not a huge fan of Image or Dark Horse(except Hellboy)and for titles that I know well enough about.
5. James Cameron, Marvel, Spider-man: this one was pretty obvious, He was attached to direct a live action feature but he was gonna make it more mature and have the villains be Electro and Sand-man. I could see him doing an arc or a one shot comic that explores the character in some new ways. As for an artist, I would have Alex Ross do the artwork.
4. Linkara, DC, Titans: If anyone has seen this comic book review on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com you know who I'm talking about. For those who don't he's a reviewer of bad comics except one where he did a blue beetle tribute. He has stated that Titans is his favorite superhero group of the DC universe. I could see him add his humor and really make the characters more fleshed out and keep them close to their original source.
3. Jon Favreau, Marvel, Iron-man: again, another obvious one. I really loved the way he has brought us this character with one of the best comic book movies to date. He captures the characters persona's to pinpoint accuracy. I would like to see him do a bridge comic for the film canon, bridging 2,3, and avengers.
2. Zack Snyder, DC, Batman: I'm gonna admit it here and now, I'm a fan of Snyder. He made 3 entertaining film's and he makes comic movies very close to the source material. He has stated he would love to do a Batman story line much like the Dark Knight Returns. I would like to see a modern take of the one shot, or an Old Man Logan type story, but with Batman of course.
It was such a toss up between 2 of my favorite Directors so they both get to be # 1
1a. Guillermo del Toro, Dark Horse, Hellboy: the man that brought us 2 great movies about the demonic hero being the good guy. He has such a great vision and loves crazy looking creatures. I could see him do a great arc for the character and obvious have Mike Mignola doing the art.
1b. Quentin Tarantino, Marvel, Deadpool: one thing that Tarantino does really well is to make strange characters cool, and of course giving us good amount of violence. So who better for him to write for other than the Merc With a Mouth.
and there you have it, 6 people that I think can and hopefully contribute to the escapism we call comics. Till next time. BlackAirs out!
